Lead is a chemical element with Pb as its symbol. It belongs to group 14 of the periodic table and its atomic number is 82.

Lead has been in use for centuries. It is usually found in the ores of silver, zinc, and copper. This metal is soft, dense, and ductile, and is known to be malleable and corrosion resistant. When lead is cut, it is bluish-white in color; however on exposure to air it tarnishes to a dull grayish color.

Lead is a toxic element and has to be used and disposed with caution with minimal exposure to humans.
